Choose De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes if you specifically want the crushed aniseed topping for crispbread, yoghurt or Halloween cupcakes. Albert Heijn lists around 45 portions of 6 g in the 270 g pack, so work out how many individual packs you’ll need for a group rather than assuming it’s a multipack. De Ruijter Feest Muisjes, at 330 g, is a different variant; compare the ingredients and the look you’re after before switching.
